Miss Trevisan, 27, who completed her master's degree in architecture at Venice University last year, posted numerous photographs of the urban vista on her Instagram account, including a rainbow stretched across the city on June 6, with the one-word description: 'Spettacolo [spectacular].'

Just one week later their joy at their new home turned to terror.

On May 22, Gloria Trevisan (centre) posted this picture on her Instagram account with the caption 'Beautiful as the sun. Thank you guys'. In the photograph which is taken near a lake is her partner Marco Gottardi (right) and two friends (left)

Miss Trevisan, pictured sunbathing by a swimming pool, called her parents at 3am, saying a fire had broken out and they were waiting for help

Mr Gottardi, also 27, called his family at 3.45am and again just after 4am.

His father Giannino told Italian newspaper Il Mattino di Padova: 'In the first call Marco told us not to worry, that everything was under control, that basically we must not worry.

'He was trying to minimise what happened, probably not to unsettle us.

'But in the second call – and I can't get this out of my head – he said there was smoke, that so much smoke was rising.'

The grieving father added: 'We were on the phone until the last moment … At 4.07am he told us their apartment was flooded with smoke and that the situation had become an emergency.

'The communications broke down and from that moment on we no longer had any contact. The phone didn't pick up again.'

Miss Trevisan called her parents at 3am, saying a fire had broken out and they were waiting for help.

Her father Loris said: 'They wanted to go down but said they could see flames going up the stairs and the smoke was more and more intense.'

Seconds later the phone line cut out and Mr Trevisan said he had made 'hundreds' of unsuccessful attempts to contact his daughter since then.

The family's lawyer Maria Cristina Sandrin said: 'I've heard the recording of Gloria talking to her mother and there is no hope to find them alive.

'She said goodbye. She said, 'Thank you mother for what you have done for me'.'

The lawyer said the families wanted to bring the couple's remains home to Italy, but added: 'We don't know in what condition we will find the bodies, if we will find the bodies.'

Boy, five, 'was lost in the thick black smoke' as he tried to escape tower inferno with his heartbroken mother as first victim is confirmed as Syrian refugee, 23, who came to London 'for a better life'

A five-year-old boy was lost in the thick black smoke of the the Grenfell Tower inferno as he desperately tried to escape his family's 18th floor flat with relatives, his heartbroken mother revealed today.

Isaac Shawo, five, was holding the hand of a neighbour but disappeared as his parents and brother Luca, three, stumbled down a fire escape. The horrifying story was revealed as the first victim of the blaze was confirmed.

Syrian refugee Mohammad Alhajali, 23, who came to Britain for a better life, was today named as having died in the blaze after he and his brother became separated as they scrambled to escape the blaze.

Engineering student Mr Alhajali, who fled his war-torn home of Daraa three years ago, was confirmed by family and friends today as having died in yesterday's fire in West London which killed at least 17 people.

But his older brother Omar, a 25-year-old business student, survived the blaze and is now in a stable condition, recovering in hospital. His family were earlier said to have been 'worried sick' about the two siblings.

Co-founder of the Syria Solidarity Campaign, Abdulaziz Almashi, also confirmed the news, saying he had met Mr Alhajali whilst working for the organisation which promotes freedom, peace and democracy in Syria.

Mr Almashi said: 'He was kind, charitable and full of passion for his family. I can't believe he's not here.' Mr Alhajali studied civil engineering at the University of West London and wanted to one day return to Syria to help.

Their mother Heyam is still in Damascus with their father and two sons and is desperate to see her son before he is buried. She is nervous, however, about visa restrictions.

A boy told his mother he 'didn't want to die' just moments before they were separated as they fled the inferno.

Terrified Isaac Shawo, five, was lost in thick black smoke as his family tried to flee their 18th floor flat. He was holding the hand of a neighbour but disappeared as his parents and brother Luca, three, stumbled down a fire escape.

Choking back tears, his mother Genet Shawo said: 'I will not fear the worse, I am still hoping and praying for him. He is a beautiful boy. He told us during the fire that he didn't want us to die.

'My neighbour said he would hold him and bring him down. But when I got outside I realised Isaac wasn't there. I have been to all the emergency centres, all the hospitals and there is no news of him. I just want help, anyone who has any information can they please come forward.'

The family have heard no news of the fate of Isaac, who attended the nearby Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School.

Describing how their escape, Mrs Shawo, who is originally from Ethiopia, told London's Evening Standard that they were beaten back by heat and smoke.

She and her husband Paulos Petakle, a taxi driver, used wet towels to try and protect their children.

'We opened the door and there was thick smoke which came into our home. You couldn't see anything it was so dark. The fire was so hot,' she said.

'I was helping my neighbour to put towels on his children, and started helping them down. I had put a wet towel already on Isaac.

'My neighbour said he had lost hold of him inside and couldn't find him. It was so dark, you couldn't see anything in the smoke. I am praying he managed to get out somehow or someone else saved him.'

Farah and Omar Hamdan and their baby: Youngest missing tower resident

Farah Hamdan and her six-month-old baby are among the missing, along with Ms Hamdan's husband Omar Belkadi

A six-month-old baby is feared to be the youngest victim of the Grenfell Tower fire.

Mother Farah Hamdan, her young baby daughter and her husband Omar Belkadi have not been seen since the blaze ripped through the west London block on Tuesday night.

The couple's two older children - 10-year-old Malek Belkadi and Tamzin Belkadi, six - were however located in hospital. Tragically, Malek later died in hospital.

Ms Hamdan's cousin Adel Chaoui has complained about the lack of help the family have received from authorities.

Mr Chaoui said they were given almost no information about where the two children who have been found were, until a health worker at one hospital they went to took pity on them.

He told the Telegraph: 'The hospitals had no idea who these children were- they didn't even realise they were related'.

He added: 'The police are following protocol they have in place during terrorist incidents. There needs to be separate protocol for civil disasters. That's what's going wrong here.'

Ms Hamdan, Mr Belkadi and their six-month-old daughter are still unaccounted for, according to Farah's father, Rkia. 'We've been to all the hospitals and we've been searching all day but we still haven't found them, we just want to know they are safe,' he told The Sun. 'We have had no help from the police, we understand that they're busy but they've got casualties in the hospitals.'

Three young girls - named as sisters Mierna, 13, Fatima, three, and Zaynab Choucair, ten - and their parents Nadia, 29, and Bassem, 38, are missing as their relatives desperately search hospitals for them.

Teaching assistant Nadia's sister Sawsan Choucair went on Good Morning Britain today to explain how they are all missing, along with her mother Sirra.

In an emotional interview, she told the ITV show: '(I spoke to them) in the morning as soon as I knew what happened at about 3am this morning, even before I got there as well I spoke to them.

'They were screaming, shouting, all I could hear in the background, and they were just quite screaming, and I was shouting - two of them, shouting, get out, try and find an exit or something.

'My sister spoke to a friend, I don't know if exactly, but this friend contacted me, she said they're all safe, but I haven't heard anything, nothing at all. They could be in hospital, I don't know exactly, they could be anywhere.

'Everyone's doing their bit, their duty and everything, but I still don't know anything. I've given my name, my number, everything, just to know. I pray for everyone, I hope everyone's safe.'

Three young sisters Mierna, 13, Fatima, three, and Zaynab Choucair, ten, are all missing following the fire at Grenfell Tower

A mother trapped on the 24th floor of the Grenfell tower recorded a harrowing Facebook live video as she and her two young children desperately tried to escape.

Rania Ibrham, 30, was in her flat when the raging fire engulfed the housing block in London in the early hours. In the distressing clip, she can be heard screaming for help as she tries to find a way out of the burning building.

Her grief stricken friends told MailOnline they were still anxiously waiting for news on Ms Ibrham and her children, aged three and five, who have not been seen since her phone cut out.

Ms Ibrham's friend Suhair Sharif, 55, who lives in Edgware Road, rushed to the scene following the disaster. She told MailOnline: 'Rania lived with her husband and children on the 24th floor.

'Her husband was in Egypt but he flew back as soon as he heard the news. Rania made it down to the floor below to my other friend's flat, but Rania, her two children and my friends on the 23rd floor are all still missing.

'In the video we just heard her saying 'oh my god', but she carried on filming despite the fire. We have not heard from her since the video ended.'

Mrs Sharif added: 'We didn't see any casualties coming out, it is as if they just left them in there to die. One man was told to stay in his flat by police but he refused and escaped with his wife and children.'

Ms Ibrham also sent a heartbreaking Snapchat message to another friend at 2.45am in which she said in Arabic, 'forgive me everyone, goodbye'. In the video Ms Ibrham, who is from Sudan, screams 'Hello, hello, come here' as she ignores the advice of a friend and family members to keep her door closed.

Residents are seen rushing through her door as they try to shelter from the smoke and flames of the inferno.

Anthony Disson: Lost contact at 3am from the 10th floor

Known as Tony, the 66-year-old is reported to have last been in contact with his family at around 3am while he was inside the building - and said: 'Tell my sons I love them.'

Lee Disson, Tony's son, posted an appeal for information on Facebook and said he was 'still praying for him'.

The appeal read: 'If anyone has seen my Dad, Tony Disson could they let us know. My heart goes out to all the people at Grenfell Tower.'

Lee, 47, confirmed that his father was still missing. He is reported to have lived on the 10th floor and his wife Cordelia, Lee and three other sons have been searching for him in hospitals.

Lee told the Mirror: 'People called my dad and said, 'Put a blanket over your head and get out'.He said he couldn't as he was trapped and the floor was too hot. A friend rang at 4am and one of the last things he said was, 'Tell my sons I love them'.'

El-Wahabi family: Couple and three children who lived on 21st floor

Abdul Aziz el-Wahabi, 52, his wife Faouzia el-Wahabi, 42, and their three children, Yasin, 21, Nur Huda, 15, and Mehdi, eight, are all now believed to have died.

Otman Boujettif, 42, a cousin, told the London Evening Standard: 'An entire family's been wiped out. We spoke to them at about 1.30am but they'd been told by the fire brigade to stay in their flat, put towels down, wet the floors and wait. But they followed the wrong advice and now they are gone. It's devastating.'

The family all lived on the 21st floor of the tower, according to Mr Wahabi's sister. Hanan Wahabi told reporters: 'I rang him and the fire had not reached the top of the block at that point. He said he had been told to stay inside, stay in one room together and put towels under the door.

'I told him to leave. He said he was going to come. Then I called him and he said there was too much smoke. The last time I saw him they were waving out the window. The last time I spoke to his wife, he was on the phone to the fire brigade.'

Also unaccounted for is teenager Nurhuda El-Wahabi (left), as well as her older brother Yasin (right), aged 21, both of whom are understood to have been inside the tower block when the fire broke out

Khadija Khalloufi: Feared dead in fire after husband lost his grip on 17th floor

Sabah Abdullah, 72, and his wife Khadija Khalloufi, 52, who is still missing

A retired lecturer has told of his horror of losing his wife in the London fire after he lost his grip on her hand in the stampede as they tried to escape.

Sabah Abdullah, 72, was leading his wife, Khadija Khalloufi, 52, through the smoke-filled stairwell as they fled their flat on the 17th floor. She remains missing.

When the fire started, both left their flat in pyjamas and dressing-gowns, having been asleep when the block filled with smoke. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, he said: 'I said to my wife, put a part of your robe over your nose so you can at least filter it, and I pulled her from the flat.

'I pulled her from the 17th floor and it was very awkward. People were pushing and forcing you to move because each one was running for his life. It was a stampede, with killer smoke. I could see only half a metre in front of me. The noise was indescribable.

'Not only were people screaming, you could feel that every one of them was very nervous and afraid, scared, wondering what's going on. Nobody was expecting this. We were all coughing terribly in the black smoke. There was a mixture of people, mainly adults but some children. I thought, OK, my wife is behind me. All I need to do is keep my hand in her hand and the other hand over my nose.

'But how could I keep my balance? They kept pushing me left and right, how could I balance? I found myself letting go of her hand and putting my hand on the rail. I thought she was safe behind me. I couldn't keep hold of her hand and keep my balance,' he added. 'I had to let go. I can't say exactly what happened next because I couldn't see anything. I never had a head at that time. It was crazy.'

Mr Abdullah was leading his wife, Khadija Khalloufi (pictured) through the smoke-filled stairwell as they fled their flat

When he got to the 15th floor, Mr Abdullah realised his wife was missing. Concluding that she must be making her own way down, he followed the crowd down through the building.

When Mr Abdullah got out of the building, he was shocked to see that his wife Mrs Khalloufi was nowhere to be seen

'Thereafter, I didn't care. I thought she was downstairs,' he said. 'I was pushing other people, doing exactly the same thing as them. I felt like I was behaving like an animal, but everybody was the same. Everybody was panicking. When people fell on the floor, we pulled them up and carried on.'

When he got out of the building, he was shocked to see that his wife was nowhere to be seen.

'A police officer told me to get out of the way. I told him my wife was missing, and he pushed me. It was not a graceful push. I fell over, cutting my feet.'

The rest of the night, he said, was a blur. 'I don't know if it's today or yesterday. I can't concentrate on anything,' he said. It's not easy, I can't sleep last night. But when it got to five, automatically I slept.'

Mr Abdullah described his wife as 'wonderful and generous'. They met when she attended one of his lectures in business studies at Kensington and Chelsea Colleges 28 years ago, he added.

'We were married for 28 years, wonderful, wonderful years,' he told MailOnline. 'We have two stepchildren.'

A friend of the family said: 'When you look at Khadija, she's full of life with a big heart. She is such a humble person, very welcoming. She opens her home to you, when you go to their house, she can't stop feeding you.

'She is a very generous person, very pure. She supports a lot of people in their lives. She cares for neighbours and everyone and loves her husband and stepchildren very much.'

Three children who are believed to have died in the Grenfell Tower fire were 'lively, intelligent and articulate', a family friend said today.

Firdaws, 12, Yahya, 13, and Yaqub, six, have been missing since the devastating fire yesterday. It is believed they were with their parents, Noura and Hashim Jemal, inside their 19th floor apartment on the 23rd storey of the tower block.

Siblings Firdaws and Yahya regularly attended Solidarity Sports, a local youth charity which organises activities including football and climbing.

Sean Mendez, 36, who runs Solidarity Sports, said: 'I have known the children and the family for more than four years, both kids really enjoyed football and were both really intelligent and articulate. Firdaws was really good at art, she was very sensible and a responsible girl. Yahya was very endearing and had a good sense of humour, they were all very smiley children.

'I last saw Yahya during Easter and he came to play football. I saw Noura lots at the pick up and drop off times, she was a very sweet and kind lady and always very grateful for us looking after her children. She went out of her way to thank us and that was very rewarding to get her support.'

Mr Mendez added: 'As far as I know the whole family of five are missing, I have heard of a lot of children who come here who were caught up in the fire.But it is really good to see the whole community pulling together.

'Yaqub was the liveliest of the three kids, he was a bit too young so he didn't come to our projects but he would come with Noura to pick up the other two. He was very lively and smiley.'

Ana Ospina posted an image of the young girl, said to be about 5ft tall, on Facebook, saying: 'Please continue to share the photo of my niece who has not yet found her. I know there are people who say they already found her, but the reality is that there has been no news of her.'

Mrs Ospina said the young girl lived on the 20th floor, adding: 'She last spoke to her mum when she borrowed a phone and told her she was on the stairs with other people.

'We than have had unconfirmed reports/sightings of her outside of the flats and also being put into an ambulance, but we have checked hospitals and no news.'

Jessica's cousin Jason Garcia, 23, who works in marketing, said he was out for almost 24 hours from 2am on Wednesday searching hospitals and community centres for any trace of her.

He is now wearing a picture of her on his t-shirt to continue to get the message out. He said: 'We've had no news; there have been some reported sightings but nothing has come of them.

'A building should not go up in flames that quickly. I don't know what happened with the fire alarms, but the fire should not have spread so quickly.

'All we can do now is continue to check, double check, triple check everything, put up posters everywhere, get her picture out there and hope for good news.'

Hackim Bakkal, 21, a cousin of missing 12-year-old Jessica Urbano said he was being passed around in a circle by the authorities who are unable to answer his questions

'We all don't know the exact reason why he waited behind, but we think he was injured or something. They were both taken to hospital. We don't know how they are. We haven't heard anything from my uncle since. They had been living for 20 years in that flat and they lived on the very top floor of the building.

'We got a call when the fire started. He said there was a big fire at the flat and that there was no help at the moment. That was at 2.20am. His wife and child are OK.
